The Otodus Shark is an extinct genus of large, predatory mackerel sharks that lived from around 66 to 5 million years ago, and considered to be direct ancestors of the Megalodon.
The name Otodus translates to "ear-shaped tooth" from ancient Greek (ōt meaning ear and odoús meaning tooth), which refers to the distinctive appearance of their teeth - specifically, the visible cusps on the root, which contribute to a uniquely flared and rounded “ear-like” shape.
Many believe fossil shark teeth symbolize strength, resilience, protection, and transformation. Like all fossils sold by Stone & Bone, this tooth is an ancient fossil collected responsibly.
